Description

Abstract:
Heat has been, and will continue to be, a major environmental hazard, public health concern, and local and national economic and security challenge. Extreme high temperatures lasting multiple consecutive days (heat waves) and high ambient temperatures may cause heat-related mortality. However, it is not well known how the risk of heat-related health effects varies by age, gender, or race.
